I used to take in a ton of extra calories. But I used to drink a lot of them. And I used to take in high caloric foods with low water content. Change that up and it makes a difference.

I do think there is a difference between not letting people judge you and willfully ignoring constructive criticism under the guise of not letting people judge you.

Probably because many of the people empathize with the writer and not so much with either your word choice or the medical profession as a whole. And, not all.

I will say, I understand what her therapist was driving at, with getting her to work on her weight loss, but going for gusto before the patient is ready dooms therapy to disaster. The treatment plan has to be something the patient approves and is willing to work with.

I think this is incredibly sad. And people are focusing on where people made her feel lesser, because they have probably felt the same. But there were moments where people tried to bolster and be supportive, but her current(at the time) world view turned it into something negative. I hope she has been able to get out of…

I'd stay away from the answers that seem judgy. I'm doing it for "health," "DUI," etc. It kind of implies that you can't drink and not have these problems. And you can. It also might put people more on edge. If they're already on it, this isn't good. I'd also stay away from lying. I'd tell them that it doesn't fit into…

Personally, I think that makes huge assumptions. I don't look at what people have in front of them, normally, and say, "They probably don't have the calories for that." I would let someone else make that decision. Decision=/= temptation necessarily. What if they have a HUGE workout planned later? What if they stagger…

I'd rather give someone the benefit of the doubt where giving it doesn't cost me anything, than constantly second guess everyone around me.

Because it depended on the hunt. They ate when they could. Sometimes they could eat like kings. Other times, they went hungry. They didn't have the ready food supply we have now. That is why many people need portion control.

Eat 2/3 of the tic tac and you'll be set.

I thought it was the 1.5 calorie breath mint....

I'd bet she has some of her own body struggles and she's projecting.

Fantastic! Informative and funny.

Maybe the relationships where the wife is in the kitchen are the ones where they are more traditional, which often means less divorce. Less divorce does not mean happy marriage.

And also, some relationships can bear this question with no issues. Some people aren't jealous and it's more of a curious thing. And even if they were, it should be up to the person asking, to know enough about themselves not to ask questions whose answers will open them up to a jealous fit.

These. Personally, if I'm going to spend the rest of my life with someone, there is no piece of information I would feel was too private. I'm sharing all of me. All of my life, my dreams and my desires, past and present.

Problem?

Yesterday, a man several treadmills down was talking to his friend about his personal relationship with Jesus. Which, is cool and all, but his idea of "talking" was speaking loud enough to snuff out the music. He was the only thing I could hear. And he went on and on and on. It's hard to get into the frame of mind to…

You look great!

from the straining...

Sometimes if things are smudged or distorted in a way you know is not like reality... like that girl's hands in that one pic. My husband just showed me a website you can run pics through that analyzes whether or not they have been photoshopped....

I used to be the skinny chick my friends would think of if the topic of skinny chicks came up. When I was my skinniest, I had no use for the scale. When I started being unhappy with my body is when I started looking at the scale, to figure out what was going on. I probably did have a boring diet. This might have been true…

I completely agree with Scott. That being said, I think the appeal of the 20 miler or longer(some people think the 20 miler is too short) is the mental aspect. Physically, I don't believe the 20 miler is needed.

I'm training for a half-marathon Turkey Trot.

In a community of artists/musicians. At places like Disney(and I don't mean this in a negative light). Whimsy(emotionality and happiness) is important when whimsy is the goal. Even science requires a bit of imagination. But, it requires the skill of understanding exactly how imagination and logic work together harmoniously…

There are places/times where imagination is valued and important. There are places/times where science and logic is needed instead. Sometimes there is room for both. But, anyone who always eschews one for the other, will probably be missing something, somewhere along the line.

Case: Stephen Hawking

You're the only one calling yourself a learning disabled retard. Originally, your assertion that the article was true with no proof, was called ignorant. You were not called ignorant. But after you got pissed at everyone and starting talking about yourself as a person, then the debate turned to you as a person. Stay…

You are making claims. I am asking you to clarify and explain claims. You wanted debate. You can't have debate without being able to communicate and dissect. It's what it is all about. And I didn't have a problem with your grammar, as it is pretty good. Better than most.
